Dougie is an active young cat who would benefit from increased mental and physical stimulation to appropriately direct his/her energy. We recommend using fishing pole-type toys as they allow for vigorous and stimulating exercise. Puzzle feeders will also keep Dougie engaged and exercise her brain in addition to her body.

None
